Aussie here, I moved my Super (equivalent to 401K) into cash 2 weeks ago. In a few weeks I'll be moving it all into US shares. The US fundamentals are strong, and when the US starts to recover, AND PUNISH CHINA, it will only get stronger!

When did this site turn into an episode of Jim Kramer's Mad Money? Telling everyone to sink their money in while we're still in the middle of mass hysteria, just because it helps Trump if the market goes up.

Needless to say, THINK before you act, people. The 2008 crash didn't need a pandemic to set it off, just idiotic business practices. And those practices haven't changed.

I have a decent amount of cash on hand, but I don't have the balls to just throw it into the market right now. That said, I haven't sold off any stocks over these past few weeks, and my paycheck contribution is still going into the market as usual.

I can understand not wanting to buy, but all these people who are selling are retards. All that does is guarantee a huge lose. If you haven't sold, you haven't really lost a dime yet. The market will come back. Just sit back and enjoy the ride =)

I would buy blue chip stocks that are shitting the bed. Things like Boeing which are down almost 50%... you are getting a 2 for 1 right now and no matter how nervous people are I will guarantee Boeing will not be going out of business due to cornoavirus. In 2 years you will be glad you did.

Absolutely not better to sell after a drop like this because you're taking a loss anyway

You take less of a loss if you sell on the way down, then buy at the bottom. This is so stupidly obvious, but then again the desire to rah-rah the market is making people here into ignoramuses lately.

Its a huge fooqin risk though mate. Yea ye can definitely come up if it tanks to 2016 levels, otherwise you may be throwing money out the window. What if it hops back a few thousand points in a couple weeks and you cashed out all your chips? Now buying back in with money ye pulled will result in lessened shares. Huge gamble unless ye young af and can roll the dice.

Oh are we still giving massive subprime loans to people who can never pay them back? Bullshit dude. Investing is always a risk. Our economy is stronger than it has been this century. Sorry that bothers you.

Also, after a huge selloff like this is a perfect time to buy. That's just how it works. Maybe you are one of those that thinks China flu is going to kill us all and rage right on through summer.

Really? I wouldn't personally. They have seriously cut back production and it doesn't look to me like there is going to be a return to increasing air travel. I get that you buy low but I'm not convinced that the leadership at Boeing is any good. I hope you're right and wish you luck though. Glad you aren;t letting the panic get to you

1 month ago (Feb 13) Dow was 29,426, Boeing $342.82. Nothing has really changed since then besides Corona virus panic selling... I get that the super 8 has problems but they will get over those. I'm not expecting it to rise overnight.

Its a no brainer when the market moves. Been buying PUTs for the past month, making bank like never before. When it turns around, this market will be at a discount and buying CALLs will be fantastic.

As a fellow pede, let me help you here. Make yourself a nice cup of coffee, get a pen, and small notepad to take notes.

Spend 1 Hr watching this easy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bELT5FZCic

then go back to your brokerage account and its options section, and you will not find it overwhelming... in fact, you will see nothing but opportunities.

If you have a put option too sell 100 shares of XYZ at 100, and XYZ is trading at 80, you can go buy the shares on the market for 80 and immediately sell them for 100. I think some brokerages will do this automatically, or just settle the trade for cash, but it doesn't matter because you can just sell the option itself and someone else will handle it.

2
Nicktdot 2 points ago +2 / -0

Exactly. However, when you get to the end of your contract, you've expired a lot of the extrinsic value...

So if you have a Put @ $100 strike, and it reaches $80 early, that's much better value than reaching $80 at expiration. I very rarely let contract expires, I trade them before that.

On PUTs expiry, my broker opens a short position , on a CALL expiry, they buy the stock and sell it if I can't cover the cost.

Real World Example: On March 2, I bought 100x MAR200417P80 @ $1

That's a PUT on Marriott with expiry 2020/04/17 with a Strike Price of $80 and a cost of $1 . So it was very much (and still is) Out of the Money on the strike price. 100 contracts of 100 shares @ $1 was $10,000 (+brokerage fee)

As of today, the MAR200417P80 is about $8.50. ( https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MAR200417P00080000?p=MAR200417P00080000 )

And there's still over a month on the contract expiry. I'll likely sell it early next week. And will have turned $10k into $85k in 2 weeks.

So what's the risk? On buying a PUT, I stand to lose no more than 100% of my purchase price, for a return that potentially unlimited (well not really, but it's open ended til the share price reaches $0). So I risked $10k to get $85k.

Kudos to you for getting off to such a great financial start. :-)

For a little perspective, hubby and I lost big chunks of our nest egg when the dot-com bubble burst and again in the 2008-2009 financial crisis. We stayed in the market and recouped our losses and resumed growth in a year or two.

Between the Wuhan virus and the election, the stock market is going to be a wild ride until at least November. Buckle up!

Open a vanguard account and buy whole market mutual funds. Think of it as a long term savings account. Only put money in that you will not need for at least a year. Better if it's money you won't need for 5 years.

Vanguard has a feature to automatically pull money from your bank and throw it in any mutual funds you specify. Set up that auto deposit once a month. Choose a random day in the middle of the month (prices go up a little bit at the beginning of the month because of everyone else doing auto buys).

Once you set up that auto buy, don't touch it. In fact don't look at it. Only check it on your birthday for a pleasant little surprise and a nice little gift for yourself. Then close the browser and don't look at it again until next year.

I managed to set aside $145,000 over 9 years doing this. All while living a completely normal life. All I did was direct deposit some money and treat it as a savings account.

Remember that time in the market beats timing the market. The time to buy is "consistently over a long period of time". Not "when the market crashes".

If you have to drive from New York to California (retirement), you can either drive 60 miles per hour for a long time, or try to drive 400 miles per hour for a short time. You are more likely to crash and die driving at 400 miles per hour than 60 miles per hour.

Electric cars are a lot easier to manufacture than combustion engine vehicles. Panasonic did pull out, but they announced their US battery plant turned a profit which was huge news. Honda and Toyota are about 6 years behind Tesla on electric vehicles as a huge portion of their spending goes towards making combustion engines. Toyota (largest car producer) can produce about 12mil cars a year, and Tesla is estimating that they can product around 20mil when scaled because battery powered cars are just simply quicker to manufacture.

Umilmi81 4 points ago +4 / -0

General Motors and Ford have only just started playing the game. Everyone is acting like Tesla is the only one who thought of electric cars. The big boys have been playing with the idea for years, but electric cars just aren't economically viable due to battery limitations.

Batteries are getting better. There will be a tipping point when batteries are "good" and electric cars are economically viable. General Motors and Ford haven't been sitting around with their thumbs up their asses. They can flip a switch and flood the country with electric cars when the time is right.

The entire Volt car line from GM was a "lol, let's see what happens" experiment. And I don't know about you, but I saw 50 Volts for every 1 Tesla on the road.

1
sketchy_at_best 1 point ago +1 / -0

The problem with the legacy companies' electric cars is that they're designed for the "hey everyone look at me I'm driving an electric car" douchebag crowd. I suspect that Tesla is tapping into a market for enviro-Nazis that don't want to drive these little pieces of shit.

I'm not a car guy, most other Americans aren't either - I don't really give a shit if the thing that gets me from point A to point B is electric or gas. They want something practical that looks nice at a competitive price, not some dinky hunk of plastic that looks like hell.

Also, the infrastructure really isn't there yet. You are right, Ford and Chevy are just biding their time.

Viiiii 0 points ago +1 / -1

The bigger car companies can’t pivot as easily and they sink a huge portion of their spending into manufacturing combustion engines, this includes supply lines and facilities. If they were to go all in to compete with Tesla they’d have to scrap their entire operation from the ground up and eat upwards of $250billion in losses due to dropping combustion engines. They simply don’t have the capital or the ability to start an entire new type of vehicle production.

This was an insightful observation in 2005. Of course you're right that the entrenched automotives can't spin on a dime. Which is why they didn't. Which is why they've been doing their slow lumbering march towards electric cars over the past 10 years. Tesla blew their surprise attack window. The company was founded in 2003, 17 years ago. GM, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Nissan, Honda, and Toyota aren't standing around with their dicks in their hands.
